Hotpatch on Windows 11 goes default in May 2026 via Windows Autopatch.
Result? Up to 75% fewer reboots/year, patches applied live, no restart needed.
Are you already testing it? 🔄

What would you do with an old first‑gen Surface Go that doesn’t support Windows 11? I tried bringing mine back to life with Linux.
Can anyone guess the distro?
Everything works great, even touch, except the pen. Still figuring out if it’s dead or just out of battery.

Resizing a Windows 365 Cloud PC? Good news: data is preserved. But "painless" ≠ "no precautions." Licensing, Entra groups, user side. Miss one, and routine becomes a headache.

Since mid-Feb 2026, my daily setup: 💻 MacBook Pro + ☁️ Windows 365.
Feedback? Feels native, fluid, responsive, no “cloud lag” vibe.
Full Win env ready w/ company policies, best of both worlds. Windows/macOS dichotomy? So 20th century.
Hybrid IT folks: try it!

Configured SCEP, Trusted Certificate, Subject, SAN, Key Usage, yet certificates never reach devices?

Check your assignments. SCEP and Trusted Certificate must target the same group type. Mixing user and device assignments? Intune stays silent.

🎯 MVP Summit week is here! To all MVPs heading to Redmond: enjoy every single moment of it. It’s honestly one of the things I miss the most as a Microsoft FTE. Don’t take it for granted, not everyone gets that seat. Happy Summit! 🚀

In Intune, in Win32 app supersedence settings, an Auto-update toggle on the superseding app’s “Available” assignment can be set. Turn it on to auto-update PCs that already installed the older version. Leave it off and behavior differs.

Over 90% of old blog traffic was landing on the English section. Now that I’ve migrated to Substack and got more comfortable using it, I’ve relaunched it. It’ll gradually grow with fresh posts and selected content from the past.

Since 1997, every December, “Trading Places” has been broadcast. Since 2008, it has always been aired on the evening of December 24th. By now, it can be said that in Italy it is an integral part of #Christmas.
